University of Maryland researchers studying how lithium batteries fail have developed a new technology that could enable next-generation electric vehicles (EVs) and other devices that are less prone to battery fires while increasing energy storage.
The safety and performance of batteries remains a top concern whatever their use. Conformity assessment, such as testing and certification, plays an important role.
Pascal Mast, Director Sustainable Technologies at TÜV SÜD, an international testing, inspection, auditing and certification service provider said EV batteries undergo strict testing to ensure their safety and performance before being released on the market, with the battery management system (BMS) being a key focus.

But it’s not clear whether these batteries will be able to meet needs for EV range and charging time, which is why several companies going after the technology, like US-based Natron, are targeting less demanding applications to start, like stationary storage or micromobility devices such as e-bikes and scooters.
Solid-state batteries can use a wide range of chemistries, but a leading candidate for commercialization uses lithium metal. Quantumscape, for one, is focused on that technology and raised hundreds of millions in funding before going public in 2020. The company has a deal with Volkswagen that could put its batteries in cars by 2025.
